Antarctica has long been the destination of dreams for many an intrepid traveller and stepping foot on the 7th continent is at the top of most must-do lists. And now with luxury cruises, as well as the traditional expedition ships, visiting these far off shores – once frequented by only the most courageous explorers – is more accessible than ever.

When Argentina comes to mind, your thoughts will probably turn to the sultry Argentine tango, malbec wine, and succulent steak, and of course football, but there is much more to this diverse nation with its infectious Latin spirit. Here you will find the world’s southern-most city (although this is refuted by Chile), the rugged, icy landscapes of Patagonia and vast grass-lands covered by sprawling estancias, alongside those renowned destinations of Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Iguazú Falls.

It is hardly surprising, given the length of Chile, that the country is such a land of contrasts. From the ice flows in the Antarctic South to the arid northern desert, Chile passes through a spectrum of geographical and cultural diversity. Some of the landscapes will leave you feeling at home with scenery that is reminiscent of rural England or the Highlands of Scotland, while others that may make you wonder if you're in another world.
